Watch Our Renovation Progress at 1435 Mulberry Street!

On Monday, January 20, 2014, the DMARC Food Pantry Network warehouse officially opened for business at 1435 Mulberry Street in Des Moines. The DMARC offices opened January 21st at the new location.

The 36th Street property was purchased by the Revival Center Church of God in Christ. They will be re-purposing the old warehouse for their congregation’s programing as well as making the upper floor of the offices into a sanctuary again.

Thank you for your continued support during our relocation!
